People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Hearing Scathach's words, Rowe looked at her and smiled, but his expression remained unchanged, instead a hint of worry flashed across his face.

"Just wondering what the situation is like with Mr. Kenneth and the others over there? Three against one, even if they get killed, with his skill level, escaping with Waver shouldn't be a problem. And I've already asked Orange to take care of the situation over there, so I hope nothing goes wrong..."

Luo Wei was still a little worried about the arrangement of Kenneth and his suicide squad to fight Gilgamesh.

Although he had already made all the necessary arrangements for his backup plan and was doing his utmost to weaken the opponent's strength and even the gap between them, Luo Wei still had a bad feeling in his heart.

It's impossible that the curse that Kayneth would not survive four wars would suddenly take effect, causing Kayneth, whom he had tried so hard to save from Kiritsugu Emiya, to still not change his fate and continue to die in this Holy Grail War?

"What are you worried about, Master? Even if the King of Heroes is the strongest and his Sword of Separation can restrain Rider, don't forget that the team over there also has Finn and Lancelot who can restrain him. His treasure and divinity are restrained, so he shouldn't be destroyed without any resistance, right? Also, haven't you taken away the opponent's trump card?"

Scathach pointed to a row of Command Seals on Lowe's arm.

In her opinion, Rowe was a little too worried. No matter how strong Gilgamesh was, he was only one person, while Kenneth had three top servants. How could he be defeated so easily?

"I hope so, but I always have a bad feeling."

Hearing this, Luo Wei nodded slightly, and his mood calmed down a little.

Although he didn't know where that premonition came from, all he could do now was pray for them, hoping they wouldn't die in such a disgraceful way. After he dealt with Saber, they would be the ones to face the King of Heroes.

In that case...just focus on doing the task at hand.

After all, sometimes the faster you want to get things done, the greater the chance that something will go wrong.

"Scathach, I'll leave this to you from now on."

While the two were chatting, the sports car was getting closer and closer to the Einzbern castle, and the magic power that Scathach actively emitted was almost blatantly announcing their arrival.

Seeing the outline of the castle in the distance, Luo Wei smiled slightly, and then reminded Scathach beside him.

"Scathach, unless I'm about to be killed by King Arthur, please don't help me personally, okay?"

"Oh?"

Hearing Rowe's reminder, Scathach couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and an intriguing smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Hahahaha... I didn't expect you to be serious, Master. Do you really want to fight Saber alone? I'm really surprised. However, since this is your request, I certainly have no reason to refuse."

"..."

Luo Wei, "Although I appreciate your understanding, I always feel that you just want to see me get beaten."

"That's certainly an idea, isn't it? But... Master, you know what? As the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and the mentor of heroes, what I love most is seeing humans create miracles through their own efforts. Can you... create one for me?"

As she spoke, Scathach held the steering wheel with one hand, then turned her head and looked seriously at Rowe beside her, then asked with a smile, her crimson eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.

She knew that although her Master sometimes acted like an old woman and was not serious, he was definitely not someone who liked to seek his own death or talk nonsense.

So far, he has done everything he promised without exception.

And now, since he is going to face the Sword Heroic Spirit alone, it means that he is confident in his actions.

Now that the Master has reached this point, why shouldn't she agree? Just support him silently. She also hopes to see an interesting drama.

"Of course, after all, aren't miracles created by humans?"

Looking intently at Scathach's beautiful eyes, Rowe smiled and nodded, then replied,

"——Those so-called people are all stars."

"They are all stars, this is really~"

"Wait, stop looking at me and look at the road, Scathach!!"

Without waiting for Scathach to say anything, Rowe suddenly realized that the other person was driving. He looked at Scathach who had been smiling at him, and hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel and shouted.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot I was driving."

"Haha, but, Master, isn't driving hands-free also romantic? Isn't it nice to run freely..."

"You big-headed ghost!"

A burst of laughter and joy could be heard on the winding road.

……

……

"Hmm, this is really interesting..."

At the same time, in the distant inner sea of the star, a white figure couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene.

"You're actually able to get along so well with the Queen of Shadow Country. You're really becoming more and more puzzling."

As he spoke, those colorful eyes suddenly looked into the distance.

Passing through mountains, cities, and oceans, and spanning countless years, he landed again on the petite figure with whom he had played pranks a thousand years ago.

"Altria, my king... I hope I can wake you up this time."

"He will free you from the nightmare known as the fall of Britain."

With a slight sigh, the voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely in the white tower of the paradise, echoing silently in the unknown realm.

He stopped talking and just watched quietly everything that might happen in the future.

In the meantime, wait and hope.

Chapter 7: Awakening the Knight King (5K words)

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.

A light mist filled the air around, the moonlight was cold, the stars were bright, and occasionally a few black ravens could be seen flying through the forest outside the castle, their creepy cries coming from afar.

Gah!

Under the moonlight, the small animals that inhabited the castle scattered in panic, leaving the forest far behind. Even the drivers passing by and the people jogging along the highway at night subconsciously left the area, making the castle's already remote location suddenly deserted.

Just when the last passerby subconsciously ran in the opposite direction, Rowe walked out of the gloomy forest, followed by Scathach, a beautiful woman wearing a handsome windbreaker, with flowing purple hair, a beautiful face, and a magical look.

"It's done. The last few irrelevant people have left. This way, there won't be any outsiders to disturb us later."

After using his raven familiar to investigate the surrounding situation, Luo Wei slightly opened his eyes and made a conclusion with a calm expression.

"Well, there are indeed no unrelated people around here, or to be more precise, even the unrelated animals are gone."

Scathach nodded, and then looked at Rowe with a look of curiosity.

"Master, even at this critical moment, you're still going through the trouble of setting up a barrier to repel idlers? You really are a stickler for rules."

"What else? Just go in and start fighting? That way, not only will the secret be leaked, but innocent people will also be dragged into it. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. We only need to target Saber and her Master. There is no need to indiscriminately kill innocent people."

Luo Wei shook his head and then looked up at the night sky above his head. "Besides, I believe you should have discovered it, right?"

"Yeah, of course."

Scathach nodded, then looked at the castle which was only a few hundred meters away from her and calmly stated her conclusion.

"It seems they anticipated our arrival and prepared some countermeasures in advance. For example, the magical energy of this land is constantly converging towards the castle, transforming it into a magic workshop. So no matter how much we mess around outside, they didn't come out on their own initiative, and Emiya Kiritsugu didn't show up either."

"Yes, whether it's the aura he actively exuded along the way or the dispelling barrier he set up right in front of someone else's castle, it's equivalent to a provocative act of entering someone else's territory. But even so, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu still hasn't shown up. So, what do you think this means?"

Luo Wei thought seriously for a moment, then asked Scathach beside him a question.

"Are you asking me, Master?"

"Ah."

Luo Wei nodded, and then he heard Scathach answer beside him, "This situation is actually not difficult to understand. After all, the plan has long been exposed. Given the specific amount of combat power we control, choosing a simple and crude method is naturally the most effective. So the other party also guessed our deployment and responded accordingly."

"The only response they can take is undoubtedly fight or flight. And the current situation undoubtedly means that Emiya Kiritsugu seems to have chosen the second option."

After all, she is the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom who has lived for many years, the ruler of the Dead Kingdom in Celtic mythology, and the one who controls countless warriors. With her rich experience and life experience, Scathach almost immediately analyzed the battle situation and gave a decent answer.

"You mean to say that Emiya Kiritsugu is likely to have escaped?"

Luo Wei thought about it and did not agree with Scathach's point of view, but did not deny it either.

"I can't guarantee it, I just think it's very likely. After all, in this situation, running away is also a tactic."

“Escape is shameful, but it is useful.”

"That being said, there are still some things that are not right. You underestimated Emiya Kiritsugu's determination."

Luo Wei shook his head slightly and then began to explain, "Even if escape is useful, it's only in the context of a long-term battle. Tonight, it's not just us; Gilgamesh's side is also determined to engage in a decisive battle. At this point, it's too late to escape."

"Huh? What do you say?"

After hearing what Rowe said, Scathach felt a little curious.

"It's simple. Because he's constantly being defeated and always at the weakest, Emiya Kiritsugu's situation is now extremely dire. His only trump card is probably the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel. However, this Lesser Holy Grail can't be activated directly. If it is to become the medium to attract the Greater Holy Grail, a sacrifice is naturally indispensable. And the sacrifice required by the Lesser Holy Grail is..."

Rowe smiled and looked into Scathach's eyes, then continued, "Your souls, so..."

"At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu must do his utmost to speed up the completion of the sacrifice, thereby hastening the arrival of the Lesser Holy Grail. The best way to facilitate this is naturally to intensify the fighting among the Servants, so that the sacrifices can be gathered as quickly as possible. This way, he can secretly complete the operation and conceal the truth."

Scathach and Rowe looked at each other, and then they came up with the answer to this question together.

"So, since Emiya Kiritsugu wants to do his best to facilitate the arrival of the Greater Holy Grail, then this castle naturally can't be empty now. And isn't it obvious who is waiting for us inside?"

"...Yes, you are right, Master. Now, I have guessed who is in the castle."

Scathach thought about it and realized that Rowe's idea was right.

"In that case, let's go in and pay a visit, and say hello to that poor, weak, and helpless old friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Wei strode to the front of the castle gate, and then no longer concealed his powerful magic power. His eyes condensed slightly, and green magic power suddenly gushed out.

As the refining formation under his feet suddenly opened, a blurry green figure suddenly appeared in front of his body.

"……This is?"

Under Scathach's slightly surprised gaze, the green figure in front of Rowe began to move. The six winged shadows behind him opened slightly, and a very violent storm suddenly arose around him.

"Please, Raphael."

Then Luo Wei raised his palm, and the blue figure in front of him, who was named "Raphael" and symbolized the wind in front, also raised his palm made of wind elements at the same time, and then chopped it down in synchronization with Luo Wei's movements.

--brush!!

The green palm touched the city gate in front of it without any hindrance, and the dazzling magic power and the green cyclone also collided at this moment.

The sharp navy blue wind blade contained terrifying power and authority. In just a short moment after it appeared, the castle gate in front of it, which was reinforced with steel and magic, was easily cut open like tofu.

The wind is unrestrained, and the wind element is also the most elusive of the four elements. Facing the fusion of the wind elf Sylph and the Archangel Raphael in the Crusades who is in front of the Lord and in charge of [wind], the role that this iron gate can play is like nothing.

"Angel? No, it's more of the power of the wind... but it doesn't seem to have any divinity. Rather, it's somewhat similar to elves. But the one you're controlling doesn't have the same agile intelligence as an elf. So, it must be a pure alchemical creation, an empty shell?"

Seeing the wind elemental angel controlled by Rowe, although Scathach's expression was a little surprised, she soon saw through the essence of this thing with her thousands of years of experience and magical attainments.

In response, Luo Wei, whose trick was seen through, did not deny it.

"Even in the distant Age of Gods, gods were high and mighty, untouchable by mortals. Even more so in this age of declining mysteries, how could a true archangel be recreated? The one I summoned is merely a vessel to facilitate the exercise of power. It's merely a visually intimidating presence, effective against magicians, but ineffective against more powerful and mysterious Heroic Spirits like you."

"The theory of merging angels and spirits is truly interesting. It's a variation of the fusion of theology and alchemy. I'm astonished that you could come up with this, Master."

"However, if the agents of the Holy Church saw you merging the Archangels, who represent the four elements of this world, with the four elemental spirits of alchemy to create this hollow shell, they would surely be furious, right?"

"Perhaps that's true, but for me, alchemy, theology, and science are merely tools that allow me to progress and reach the truth. Although I am a magician and alchemist, I don't arrogantly reject useful things."

Hearing Scathach's words, Rowe shook his head and said nonchalantly, "As long as it's useful to me, I will use it. After all, the gods haven't appeared in person to say no."

"The gods themselves have appeared... Hehe, Master, this is truly a sophistry. Where are the gods in this day and age?"

Scathach shook her head and continued, "However, your current behavior can indeed be called blasphemy. If it were during my time as the Age of Gods, perhaps the gods themselves would appear and teach you a lesson."

"However, the era of the gods has long passed. They have all returned to their prisons within the inner sea of the stars. Now it belongs to the age of humans, isn't it?"

"You are right. The age of gods has passed. This is the age of humanity. To you, those gods are nothing more than things recorded in ancient texts. You are simply taking advantage of this."

"Angel Summoning, and Demon Summoning, Master, you remind me of a very powerful guy."

"who is it?"

After witnessing Rowe's talent, even Scathach couldn't help but sigh: "That guy's name is, Magic King Solomon."

"Solomon..."

Hearing the name, Luo Wei was momentarily stunned. Then, he shook his head and replied helplessly, "Although there are indeed many things that overlap between the science of angel summoning and the science of demon summoning, compared to the legendary Magic King, I'm clearly still far behind. If the Magic King faced this situation, he wouldn't have to resort to any strategizing and could simply summon a demon to defeat them."

"That king can summon the true seventy-two demon gods, while I can only summon false angels that have been given names and mixed with alchemy. This is the difference."
